Penn Badgley, known for the series "You", but also for his role in "Gossip Girl" said that there is a reason why he never developed an addiction to narcotic substances and alcohol and the credit goes to his ex-girlfriend, Blake Lively.
Blake and Penn started dating in 2007 when they were part of "Gossip Girl" and at the time, it was one of the most talked about relationships. Penn managed to cope with fame (unlike many of his colleagues), stress and all the media pressure, for one simple reason: Blake did not drink, so this somehow "forced" the actor not to fall prey to addictions
. To be honest, I've never had a problem with substances. Blake didn't drink and I think our relationship helped me not go down that road."
Penn has said that when he faced dark periods in his life, he tried to travel and follow the practices of Buddhism, devoting himself to breathing and meditation. So practically, many problems can be solved with Namaste - Zen - Namaste .
Eh, who would have thought that the actors who only caused trouble in "Gossip Girl" are so responsible in real life...
